[G] Rainforest, [Em] mist and mystery, [D] teeming green.
[G] Green and rain facing the bottom, [Em] climate control center for the world.
[D] Ancient cord coexistence hacked by parasitic greed head scam.
[G] From [Em] Sarawak to Amazonas, Costa Rica to [D] main GBC hills, cortege rhythm of fallen timber.
[G] What kind of currency grows in these new [Em] deserts, these brand new flood plains?

[Em] Got to move on, got [D] to move on.

Take out people who've lived with us for a hundred [D] thousand years.
Inject a billion burgers worth of beef,
[G] grain eaters, [Em]
methane [D] dispensers.
Through

Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world [G] where wild things have to go, [Em] have to disappear [D] forever.
